I'd just like the see the Mets field a respectable team that can make a run if all things break right. There is nothing in their outfield, or being spoken about for their outfield, that can make a difference.

I am expecting a trade...we have a surplus of young pitching and some money to spend on the right salary dump. Don't expect us to field an outfield of Duda, Nieuwenhuis and Cowgill with Valdespin and Baxter in reserve...the fact that Hairston has not signed could mean he is holding out for Ross money but isn't getting the same offer as he is not quite as well rounded. I rhink moat fans would prefr a solid major league ready prospect like AJ Pollock from Arizona. We shall see.

Why shouldn't you? You keep complaining about how Sandy's not making the team better, yet you can't come up with a single idea to make it happen.

Typical.

Why should I?

They haven't done as single thing to improve the team, but I'm supposed to come up with solutions?

Ok.

It's not up to me, I'm a fan. I want to win, I want to see the team improved, i'm tired of throwing seasons away before they begin. If you're happy with doing nothing then you must be happy throwing seasons away.

Cool so you have no idea how to improve the team. I guess there's no simple solution to make a winner then, right?

OK, I'll bite on this, although it probably is a huge waste of time.

I think that with the right move or two we could at least be on thr fringes of contention this year and serious contenders in 2014.

One move that would be doable is this:

The Chicago White Sox want a power left handed bat, we need a power right handed bat, preferably an outfielder.

Dayan Viciedo from the Sox for Lucas Duda and a lower level pitching prospect.

That move would fill the needs of two teams, and is fair to both sides.

Viceiedo in left field upgrades the outfield, Buck upgraded the catching position already.

Next hole to fill short term would be CF/Leadoff. The perfect option is Michael Bourn for three years, but that is not going to happen. Next best affordable option would probably be Nyjer Morgan for one year.

He's not the best option, but not terrible. He is a good defender, that is the most important thing, and he would not block any of our potential CF options like Kirk or den Dekker if they make the next step.

There you go, Mr. Negativity. Viable options that would make the team relevant and not hamstring the team in the future.

It's called creative thinking, and if you are not automatically negative about everything, you can see options eaiser.

Now, again, I agree that I don't trust the WILPONS to do what it takes to win, but I have seen not one shred of evidence that Sandy Alderson has done ANYTHING that would indicate lying or unwillingness to put a marketable, winning team on the field.

If you can't look past your own black colored glasses, then you are not much of a fan, frankly.

Fair enough, then why won't they do anything? Why haven't they signed a single FA?

If you're happy making excuses for doing nothing year after and are happy just throwing season after season away then frankly you're not much of a fan either...

How could anyone NOT be automatically negative about the Coupons they're just about the worst owners in sports...
